Towards the elimination of iodine deficiency and preventable thyroid-related diseases in Europe (EUthyroid)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,

Despite the fact that iodine deficiency (ID) can easily be prevented by iodine fortification of table salt, industrial salt and cattle food, Europe belongs to the worst regions in terms of access to iodized salt and is seriously ID, resulting in the perpetuation of the single most important, preventable cause of brain damage. European ID is due to significant heterogeneity in prevention and monito ...

Systems Biology to Identify Molecular Targets for Vascular Disease Treatment (SYSVASC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

Asymptomatic vascular damage accumulates for years before patients are identified and subjected to therapeutic measures. The limited knowledge on early vascular disease pathophysiology is reflected in the lack of therapeutic options. SysVasc aims to overcome this limitation by mounting a comprehensive systems medicine approach to elucidate pathological mechanisms, which will yield molecular target ...

Long-term effects of early nutrition on later health (EARLYNUTRITION)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nutrition during early development has an important impact on later health, particularly through greater obesity risk, as demonstrated by FP6 EARNEST. EarlyNutrition explores the current key hypotheses on likely causes and pathways to prevention of early life origins of obesity (specifically adiposity) and associated disorders. We bring extraordinary expertise and study populations of 470,000 indi ...

Reach α-synuclein-dependent neurodegeneration: clinical development of therapeutic AFFITOPE vaccines for Parkinson’s disease and multisystem atrophy (SYMPATH)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

The goal of SYMPATH is to advance clinical development of therapeutic vaccines targeting α-synuclein (aSyn)-driven neurodegenerative diseases (ND). It addresses Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), two synucleopathies, for which no causal therapy exists. Ultimately, both lead to patient disability and death, which along with patient number (PD) and age of onset (MSA, PD) def ...

Pathways common to brain development and ageing: defining strategies for preventive therapy and diagnostics (DEVELAGE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"The increasing number of elderly people will have a major impact on the prevalence of age-related diseases, which will pose major challenges to keep health systems in Europe sustainable. Current knowledge is insufficient to identify the transition of normal brain ageing into Alzheimer`s Disease (AD)-like brain damage. Elucidation of the genes and pathways contributing to the earliest stages of AD ...

Disseminate the Power Of Research through an on-line simulation of the scientific endeavour (POR)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

"The Science Communication actions draw their inspiration from the fact that young Europeans feel under-informed about science and are turning away from scientific studies and careers. Generally there is little opportunity for the public, to enter the world of science and apply their scientific knowledge. To reach the EC’s aim to hardwire science into youth culture, serious rethinking is required ...

Genomic instability and genomic alterations in pre-cancerous lesions and/or cancer (GENINCA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"GENINCA will address two tumor entities, for which we have good access to pre-malignant lesions and in which genomic instability is a common feature: colorectal and liver cancer. Colorectal cancer amounts to 13.2% of all incident cases of cancer, the second most common form of cancer, surpassed only by lung cancer (13.3%). Liver cancer accounts for about 2% of total cancers, however, the most com ...

Targeting OBesity-driven Inflammation (TOBI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"The TOBI project aims to analyse mechanisms provoking adipokine-mediated crosstalk and an inflammatory drift in obese patients. It will be the remit of this project to develop novel strategies to reduce or reverse major adipokine-mediated adverse interactions in peripheral tissues and by periorganic adipose tissue, namely insulin resistance and vascular dysfunction, respectively. Special attentio ...

Vienna Biocenter European Researchers Night (VBC ERN)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2009,

"Science is central to the success of the European society and to tackle some of the major problems mankind is facing in the near future. Nevertheless, negative stereotypes about scientists persist. While a slow erosion of these stereotypes is detectable, continued and sustained efforts are necessary to overcome this prevalent barrier to increase the number of scientists in Europe. The most effici ...
